When creating a blog or portfolio website from scratch it’s always difficult to know where to start. (It’s taken me two weeks of sorting through photos just to get to this point!) First you have this idea that you then sleep on. In the morning you think about it some more, promptly scrap it and come up with something else. Yet somehow you go back to your original idea a few days later. Maybe this doesn’t happen to everyone but at least that’s how it’s been for me.

In the end, I decided that the best image to begin with was the first ‘creative’ shot I took with my then shinny, new Nikon D300 back in early 2009. It’s of a folk dancer performing in a show in Mexico and I was captivated by the riot of colour her swirling costume made as she twirled.
